Memorare

Work:: Memorare (S01680433408)

A look at the last night on earth of Mary Queen of Scots. It is the last evening of her life. In the morning, she will be executed. Denied the comfort of religion, Mary explores the nature of her life as a woman, not just as a queen, through an imagined and much desired meeting with Elizabeth. Stripped of the romantic view of her life and loves, the venal brutalities of power politics and images of her sexuality that oppressed her in her own time and down through history, are revealed, along with the oppression of mis-placed love.
